 Oldie But Goodie September 15, 2008
The info contained is clear & concise without preamble or confusion. In fact in some cases illustrations are included for those of us that benefit from graphics. I actually have 3 RE dictionaries and prefer this one for it's basic understanding and size. This is the one I tend to lean on most often! Although it is no longer in print (or so I understand) it is definitely worth the investment as the info is still applicable.
Excellent reference for your office May 21, 2008
This is a must have handy reference for the seasoned agent, or the brokers office library. Not only does it have most all the terms related to the industry, but it contains construction details, math formulas, mortgage tables, and english and metric measuring tables. Great illustrations of many items to. A quick reference not only for real estate professionals, but the homeowner, or student would like it too. I like it, and you will to. A lot of info for the bucko...
 All the little pieces December 28, 2007
This book condensed much of the information that I had saved from NY, CT, NJ and PA study books. In this day of instant access to information it is nice to thumb through a fairly through tome of specific terms to an industry with no marketing or advertising. Business students, Real Estate Agents and Investors will find this a desktop must have. If you are investing or are planning on becoming an investor, then plan on knowing the lingo and all the little pieces that make up the day to day contracts, leases and legal papers you will need to deal with. It's also great for settling office disputes on terms.
Great tool to have! September 5, 2007
It is very useful for everyday people, students and real estate professionals. It explains the real estate concepts in simple words, so that even a person that knows nothing about real estate understands it.
